Chapter 449 People are greedy
"What are you doing?" Shen Wan was startled at the sight of the huge crowd. "Hurry up, the ground is too cold!"
Although it hasn't snowed in recent days, the temperature is still touchingly low.
If something really happens to her from the cold, she can't take the responsibility.
The people heard this and shook their heads: "If the princess doesn't agree, we won't get up!"
Seeing their solemn expressions, Shen Wan couldn't help but secretly murmur in her heart.
She didn't dare to agree to this casually. What if the people made excessive demands?
"Why don't you tell me what you want to do first, and let the princess see if it can be done."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.
I turned around suddenly and saw Xie Mubai walking slowly towards me in the sunlight.
He was dressed in plain white clothes and a white fox fur cloak, which made him look even more beautiful than an ordinary person.
Seeing Shen Wan looking at him, Xie Mubai couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Shen Wan has been very busy recently, but he is even busier.
It is true that Wang Qi is smart, but he still has to give his approval for any major matters related to the uprising.
And there's Xie Lian.
Although Xie Lian has his own way of commanding the army, Xie Mubai is still worried because of his amnesia.
"Please, my Lord, please help us!" Upon seeing Xie Mubai, the people kowtowed. "The only road leading to the outside world in Lanyang City is blocked, and things from outside can't be brought in."
"Although there is no shortage of food and coal in the city now, there is a serious shortage of medicine."
"It's been cold lately, and many people have caught a cold. We're in urgent need of medicine."
"If that road is not opened, who knows how many people will die from lack of medicine!"
At this point, everyone's eyes turned red.
When there is no food, we miss food; when we have food, we still have to worry about medicine.
They don’t understand why their lives are so miserable and why they were born in such a desolate place.
Xie Mubai frowned slightly.
In fact, Helian Changjun had also mentioned that he and his sister wanted to leave Lanyang City as soon as possible.
There are enough people in the city, but the problem is that if the roads are cleared, it will not be so convenient to do things on your own.
This road is temporarily blocked.
"You can clear the road yourself!" Shen Wan glanced at the villain and looked at everyone with a smile, "I only have a few people under my command. I'm afraid it won't work if you want me to go."
"Actually, Lord Chu also wrote a letter to the provincial government, but they said the weather was too cold for construction and asked us to find a solution ourselves."
"Think for yourself. There are so many people in Lanyang City anyway."
"As long as everyone moves a stone, the road will be open in a few days."
The barren mountains on both sides of Lanyang City had just been bombed, and it was snowing a lot in winter, so any rash action would indeed be dangerous.
Therefore, the third prince used this reason to let the state government reject Chu Wei.
Even if Xie Mubai couldn't starve to death, he would never let that sickly prince have an easy time.
When the people heard this, their faces turned pale.
Of course they knew that Shen Wan didn’t have many people, but if they were asked to clear the road by themselves, they still had to consider it carefully.
If a landslide occurs, it would be more trouble than good.
In fact, their idea is very simple. Isn’t the godfather of this little princess the old tutor?
As long as she wrote a letter, the old tutor would naturally mobilize people to rescue them.
But Shen Wan refused to let go, and they didn't dare to bring it up.
Shen Wan was not stupid, so she naturally guessed what they were thinking.
Haha, they dare to dream of good things without spending any money or effort. The problem is that it’s not even dark yet, and they dare to dream like this?
"If you go, I can provide you with some food." Seeing that they were silent, Shen Wan deliberately smiled and said, "Once the road is cleared, I will ask Lord Chu to award you a plaque!"
It's just some food and a plaque. Is this little thing worth risking their lives for?
When the people heard this, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
They admitted that this little woman had indeed done a favor for the people of Lanyang.
But it's obvious that just one sentence can solve the problem everyone is facing, so why doesn't she do it?
Why did Shen Wan do it?
It's true that she wants to gain a good reputation, but she will definitely not ruin the villain's plan for this.
I have to say, Shen Wan is really bad.
"Why aren't you talking?" She rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously, "Oh, I see. You must be thinking about when to start construction, right?"
"It's better to do it today than today!"
Seeing her being so naughty, Xie Mubai also laughed.
It feels so good to be with this little woman.
Since he had her, he laughed more times in a day than he did in the previous twenty years.
"That's a good idea." He glanced at the blue sky and said with a smile, "Let's set off quickly while the weather is good today."
"If you delay any longer, it will be dark!"
When the people heard this, they couldn't help but look embarrassed.
"I...I have something to do at home, I have to go back right away!"
A man rolled his eyes and said immediately.
Before he finished speaking, he stood up and ran back.
When they saw him running away, the rest of the people also panicked.
What does this bastard mean?
He doesn't work and wants them to do it?
Thinking of this, everyone found a reason to leave.
Looking at the hurried backs of the crowd, a disdainful smile appeared on Shen Wan's beautiful face.
Sure enough, people are greedy.
Of course, it’s not that they are ungrateful for what Shen Wan has done, they just want more.
"Don't think too much, it's just human nature." Xie Mubai smiled and reached out to hold her small hand in his. "Let's go, let's go back and eat."
After hearing this, Shen Wan shook her head vigorously.
She tugged at the villain's sleeve and said coquettishly, "No, I want to eat outside."
"After dinner, I want you to go shopping with me!"
Since arriving in Lanyang, although they still sleep in the same bed, the two of them communicate much less.
There's nothing we can do about it, they're all so busy.
Xie Mubai did not refuse.
So the two of them walked hand in hand on the street.
Although there are some shops along the street, there are no decent restaurants.
In the past, the best restaurant in Lanyang City was the one opened by Chen Jiu. Now that Chen Jiu’s property has been seized by the government, the place has been sealed.
Fortunately, Shen Wan was not picky about food, so she just ate a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall.
After eating, the two went shopping happily.
Since the New Year is coming, we must prepare some New Year’s goods.
Shen Wan was like a happy little rabbit, looking at New Year pictures and couplets from time to time.
There are many things in the space, but none of them are as good as these.
Xie Mubai was not interested in these things.
But since the little woman liked it, he still paid for it.
Seeing someone selling candied haws on the roadside, he took the initiative to buy one.
As a straight man, Xie Mubai doesn't know what girls like specifically.
But Wang Qi, that single guy, said that most of the things girls like are similar to those children like.
Children like to eat candied haws, so I'm sure she will like it too.
"Thank you!" Shen Wan happily took the candied haws and took a big bite. "Actually, the candied haws I make are pretty good too. Do you think I should set up a small stall?"
Setting up a stall?
This little woman owns the treasury of the Great Wei State, yet she still wants to set up a small stall?
She still cares about such a small profit?
